the nsa is not allowed to spy on americans. a senior intelligence official tells evan perez that the phone location tracking program focused only on foreign targets overseas, but millions of americans travel overseas even though the nsa says it doesn't intentionally target americans, the whereabouts of americans' cell phones overseas could be targeted incidentally, they say inadvertently, but they try to minimize the collection of american cell phone locations, and when it does get them, it tries to remove them from the database. >> with said cell phone information, what has the nsa said they're doing with this? >> this is where it gets really interesting. what they're trying to do is find the associates of people they're targeting for surveillance. if they're targeting a potential person for surveillance, they want to follow his associates. they're follow his cell phone location. you get it from the cell phone towers. they transmit the cell phone location. they target his cell phone as he moved around the city, and they try to

the nsa is going after their servers, going after their networks, so they're all rushing to encrypt the user data. they could have done that a long time ago. >> there is legislation that is pending right now that essentially is echoing what these eight tech giants now say they're pushing. do you see the tim cooks and mark zuckerbergs of the world, do you see them climbing the steps of congress to lobby for this? >> i haven't bumped into them in washington, at least not recently. >> not yet. >> i would like to see that happen, certainly, and we could use their support on some of the privacy bills, but again, i think we need to talk more about the amount of personal information that the companies themselves are collecting. that's the reason that the law enforcement agencies and the intelligence agencies go to them. they have the data. if they didn't collect so much data, they would be a less attractive target for the government agencies. >> mark, thank you. >>> the world of weather. it is messy out there for so many of you. air passengers on the east coast being told to be patient today.
